BJP nominee for Gujarat's Amreli Lok Sabha seat, Bharat Sutariya, and incumbent MP Naran Kachhadia have got into a spat after the latter attributed poor voter turnout in the constituency to the party’s selection of candidate there.
Mr. Sutariya hit back at Mr. Kachhadia, accusing the MP of “insulting” the BJP’s top leadership and its parliamentary board by questioning his selection.
Of the 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat, 25 went to polls in the third phase on May 7 and registered an average voter turnout of 60.13%. Amreli in the Saurashtra region saw the lowest polling at 50.29 per cent. The BJP candidate in Surat has already won unopposed.
